The device was not returned for analysis.A review of the lot history record identified no manufacturing nonconformities issued to the reported lot that would have contributed to this event.Additionally, a review of the complaint history identified no other incidents/complaints from this lot.It was reported that during post dilatation, the versaturn guide wire became stuck/jailed between an old unspecified stent and the newly placed unspecified stent.It should be noted that the ht guide wires, pta, ptca, stents, instructions for use states: do not deploy a stent such that it will entrap the wire between the vessel wall and the stent.Although it was noted that the guide wire became inadvertently entrapped during post dilatation, this was due to the challenge of deploying a new stent in the proximity of a previously implanted stent.Therefore, the entrapped wire seems to be a reasonable clinical outcome.In this case, the physician reported the difficulties and is therefore aware of the issue.The investigation determined the reported difficulties and subsequent treatments appear to be related to the operational context of the procedure.Additionally, the reported removal of foreign body was due to a guide wire separation within the anatomy.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design, or labeling of the device.D9, h3: device status changed from returning to not returned.
